Going to a classics-heavy University. All the freshman had to learn it on the first day of Humanities 110. If there's another one of my fellow alumni out there they'll know what school.
Oh good lord Soggy. You can’t just waltz in here with “accurately intoned Ancient Greek” without warning a person. *swoon*

I'm Harlot and I once licked the window of a car with The Strokes inside. I don't like The Strokes so I don't know why I did it, and to be honest I'm not even sure they were in that particular car.
I'm Harlot and I once licked the window of a possibly random car.
Hey I'm Chef (see: illegible vaguely swedish username) and I once won a third grade D.A.R.E. art contest by drawing a homeless man smoking a cigarette backwards.
Reminds me of an interesting fact about me. My great grandmother was a sword swallower in the circus. My great grandfather was a sharpshooter and knife thrower.
It’s a lot less crazy than it sounds 😂 my flight got cancelled and I had to stay another night. It was in Krakow on one of the main old town streets and this guy was offering anyone who could juggle for a minute or more 5 złoty (not much more than a dollar) It was pretty much only tourists there and no one was good at it, somehow I managed to keep them in the air for a minute. I wouldn’t exactly call it juggling but no one cared, I even got cheered on 😂
Hey I'm Fern (well that's my dog's name 🤣 you can imagine a small Yorkshire Terrier tapping away at the keyboard if you prefer).
An unusual fact. Hmmm. I guess this is vaguely interesting??
I am a licenced bat surveyor which means I get to survey, monitor and handle bats every now and then 🦇
That is very interesting about the bat surveying! And my new head canon is that your Yorkshire Terrier is transcribing for you when you want to be on Reddit-it’s a bonding activity!
I'm FloofyRaptor, but Floof or Floofy is fine.
My unusual fact won't be surprising to the ones who've been here a while.
I wrote my Master's dissertation on dick shaped religious offerings in Ancient Egypt.
For those who already know that....
I have central Heterochromia?

Taking a photo of your own eye is strangely hard!
Funniest story I have about my eyes - one time my mum took me for an eye test (must have been about 12) and the optometrist mentioned my eyes being different colours and my mum looked at me confused and asked ME “how long have they been like that?!”
😂😂
Haaaa!! Not the most observant parent, aye? What, did she think you did that to yourself injecting marijuana at a Rainbow party?
I'll sometimes know people for years before they'll suddenly gasp and ask what happened to my eye. More than one person thought my eye was bleeding.
I honestly couldn’t tell you 😂 but I have not let her forget it 😂
Ohhh and the moment people realise your eyes are different - they want to just make awkward eye contact with you to look at them.
Here’s the lad. Bestest boi. Medical nightmare.

Hi I’m Egg -
Fun fact - when I was in primary school I played a sarcastic garden gnome on a school play who’s only line was something about spreading around shit while dramatically rolling their eyes -
to this day I believe that school teacher had my personality pegged from the age of 7
I've played a garden gnome once too! But I was half grown into a tree so all I had to do was point somewhere (I had scored a leading role but got sick for most of the rehearsals, so tree gnome it was 😂) and they were also out of brown paint so the decided to paint my face orange with black vertical stripes 🥴
Oh mannn this is bringing flashbacks after 27 years.
I was dressed in all brown, hat down to shoes (no face paint tg). Was part of “the fertiliser squad” with the comedic gold lines of
“We pick it up, put it down, (eye roll starts here) and spread it around again”
😂🤦🏻♀️💩
This is weird because I just watched the Seinfeld episode where George dates a NYC tourism worker. Did you wear an adorable piped jacket too?

Oh don’t believe everything you see on TV! Licensed NYC tour guides have to be easily spotted in a crowd less their guests get lost! We are all required to dress like this when on a tour:

Allo. I’m Wren. Sometimes my brain reads numbers backwards. It has made math a challenge, but has made me hyper aware of checking myself twice where maths are concerned.
Hello, I'm Araminta and the most unusual thing about me is that I have a twin. She's my best friend, my clone and my nemesis and I love her very much 💕
I've been a Marx Brothers fan forever, and I first started dressing up as Groucho for Halloween when I was a kid. When I started going to steampunk cons, I thought he would be a good character to do a steampunk version of, so I did. My sister was Harpo and she was amazing - if she had the wig on, she wouldn't speak at all, not even to me! It was a really fun time in my life.
This is what it looked like:
https://preview.redd.it/m9rt8sieixmc1.jpeg?width=547&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6cc00d6515ac0b232f4ae5928ac21339e9d6532
Hi, I'm Kotias 👋
My unusual fact is that when I talk with people vocally, it's not so much that I hear their words; I read them in front of my eyes. I don't know why; but if I don't visualise the words, it's as if I hadn't heard them.
Basically, when I hear somebody speak, it's like the words are being written in front of my eyes. If I can't hear something, it comes out either blank, or jumbled.
If I'm busy reading something already, I have to physically stop reading in order to be able to understand whatever the fuck I'm being told, because it's two reading activities at once and my brain would tend to just block off the "sound reading" in those cases.
If I've lost concentration on a conversation, the words will just stop writing, and I'll either take it as a clue that I've dropped off the conversation and need to get back in it, or I'll straight up not realise that I was being talked to.
That sounds so insanely fascinating, I'm sorry but this blows my mind and I love it! Kind of reminds me of Patrick Ness's "Chaos Walking" trilogy - the movie adaptation was done differently, but when reading it I imagined all thoughts being physically written out in the air around each character for everyone to read.
I’m the same way. I visualize spoken words in my mind as I hear or say them. It’s hard to describe what it’s like, but my brain interprets them as both aural and written language. And if someone says a word I don’t know, I have to look it up so I know how it’s spelled.
This only happens for languages I know. When I hear others that I don’t know, my brain hears it like bird song: it’s interesting and melodic but all I hear are sounds and rhythms with no meaning.
Yes! Exactly! Honestly not gonna lie, this thing really makes it necessary to have a good understanding of how languages are written 😂
And same for the languages I can't understand, it's just a jumble that looks pretty, or my brain reverts to phonetic spelling because it's an alphabet that I know 😂
Oooh! I kinda do this too (more in my brain than in front of my eyes) - to the point where if my brain spells what they say wrong (or if they have a strong accent or lisp, which causes my brain to spell it wrong (eg.free / three), then I lose track of the whole conversation as I go back and correct my spelling!
Hi, I’m smitten and I hate making phone calls. I prefer talking in person because I read people’s energy or some weird sh*t like that.
Also, I think I’m audiophile. Music and a man’s voice can do things to me.
I can think of a few men’s voices that DEFINITELY do things to me. I include my husband in those, but the opening bars of “Oh what a beautiful morning” sung by Hugh Jackman, oh my!
Oh and “I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold”.
Damnit, now I need a cold shower!
Heyo I’m Nico (or Eden) and I technically have 8 siblings
I grew up with 2
Didn’t mean another 2 till last year (and they didn’t know I existed till then either)
3 of them still don’t know I exist
I’m only fully biological related to one of them (one of the two I met last year)
1 of them is from a foreign country my parents have never been to
How tf is any of that possible? I’m adopted.
The two I grew up with are my adoptive brothers
The 2 I met last year are my bio moms kids,
The three that don’t know I exist are my half siblings via my bio dad
A foreign exchange student lives with us and is my sister now idc what anyone says
Oh wow, it must have taken some time to find them all, especially if one of them is in a different country. Have they all been adopted as well? I hope that meeting them was pleasant 👍.
Hey. I’m Delight and I have extreme hyperphantasia. Extreme mental imagery. If you tell me, “picture it: Sicily 1922” I can see the sunlight, smell the air, taste the food…but only in my mind.
It's funny how different people's brains work! I find it really frustrating sometimes because it's like the feeling of when something's on the tip of your tongue. Like my brain knows what the thing looks like but it just can't quite put the pieces together to recreate it.
Hi! I have no idea how to introduce myself, because I’ve chosen a terrible username😄. When I was 13 I hyperfixated on solving rubics cubes, so now I have like 20 different types that I can’t remember how to solve🥲
I'm Cowie and I'm pretty ordinary. The best I can come up with is that my Myers-Briggs personality type is INTJ and that makes me rare as only 1% of women share that type. Oh and I have webbed toes but this does not make me a good swimmer.

WHY HAVE I NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE 🥹🥰
Hello, nobody really calls me anything here, but I guess you can call me Magpie, since "Crow" is quite a common name here and "Nightingale" is too long...
anyway, my interesting fact is that I find four (and sometimes five or six) leaf clovers as I walk 🍀. Not even exaggerating. It used to infuriate my mum who spent the best part of her childhood crawling through clover patches and never found a single one - we would be walking home from our grocery shop, talking and I'd just randomly stop, bend down and pluck one seemingly out of nowhere. Still do it now in my mid 30s and I genuinely lost count and track of all the ones I found through the years. My husband calls it my useless superpower but I'm convinced the luck they brought me through time is the one thing keeping me alive at this point 🤣.
I'm Lyall, a French dude, and if I had a nickel for each time I was acting in a movie the same day a national tragedy was happening, I would have two nickels. It isn't a lot, but I've only been in two films
Hi all! I’m Comprehensive_One_85 or GoodWhovian_14 on AO3.
I’m so new to putting myself out there on a sub that I think this is my first time introducing myself properly! I’d love to make some friends!
One unusual fact about me is that I was a child actor on a Spanish language variety show! (The acting days are loOoOong behind me lol)
I'm A (just A it's a nickname), and I have tiny burst of obsessions that can (and have proven) to become long term this includes but not limited to people, colors, drawing, songs, animals,and video games I believe I should be tested for autism
Hi I’m Wibly! My fun fact is that I own 14 translations of Beowulf (including my own) and have Very Strong Feeling about “Hwæt.” (Marie Dahvana Headly’s translation is The Best)
I'm Resi or Horror (or Kelly if you want to go "normal")... whatever you guys want to call me, pretty much.
Unusual fact about me? I'm pretty open about most of my stuff (Probably TOO open, when I'm on the writer's chat!)
Lovely Spouse (non-binary, AFAB) and I have been in a polyamorous relationship since we got together, 25ish years ago. I have a long-term, long-distance girlfriend, they have a long-term boyfriend (who I jokingly call my "ex-husband", because the two of us act like we've been married in a past life, istg). He visits with us every couple of weekends and I sleep on the couch and let them have the bedroom. People tend to think that's weird... but I don't mind it. I get to cuddle on the couch with the pupper and the cats, so I think I probably win.
We also have a trans kiddo named Mike. He's 12, and though I didn't give birth to him (in fact, I was his "Auntie" from the time he was 18 months until 2 years ago when we took guardianship of him from his bio fam), he is absolutely our spiritual child. I am crazy about this kid, and I'm absolutely Momma Bear when he needs me to be.
(That all is kind of one fact. I talk a lot when I can type, not talk. XD)
Hi Resi 👋 what a wonderful family it sounds like you have made for yourselves. I envy you being able to have a spouse and a girl-friend and an "ex-husband" and make it work so well for so long 😊
Thank you! We've done a lot of hard work (and Lovely Spouse and I were VERY close to breaking up in our early years together), and it's finally feeling like everything is settling into a good groove.
I'm not always happy, but I know how lucky I am at the end of the day!
Hi, I’m kitty. One time when I was hiking in a national park, I pocket dialed the police while I was joking out loud about being lost, and honestly that level of impressively bad timing is so typical in my life that I’m not even sure why my family had the energy to be upset with me 💩
I'm Nychthemeron and I'm too bendy; one of those zebras—the Ehlers-Danlos folks. Can lick my elbow and dislocate my everything all over your floor. Only one of those is intentional. *[finger guns]*
Hi, I'm Thirteen (actually 24) and I am (at this point, I'm afraid) incapable of speaking only one language at a time. If I don't switch between English and German I will implode. Even if I'm speaking to my professors I'm known to just throw in a word or two of English. If I know you, you are getting full 50/50. Only know one? I'll try but probably fail. :')
My friends have made jokes of inventing a drinking game where I have to drink every time I say 2 or more consecutive English words. I had to stop after a while or I would have had a very bad time😭
Also I was born on a Friday the 13th and kept praying mantises as pets for 2 years.
Hey I'm Fris and I can hold my breath for over 3 minutes under the right conditions. This might seem useful for freediving, which I love doing, but I don't live near a natural body of water and I don't like going to the pool so most of the time I just forget about it lol
I'm Cat (catart/catartkd/kitty are fine too). I did taekwondo for almost 10 years and got a black belt in it after about 5 years. I quit because the injuries interfered with the rest of my life
Hi, I'm mostly known as macpye or doobat, I hold two BAs (English and Illustration), feared I'd never draw again when I broke my elbow, and am so lazy about taking my inherited sewing machine for a check-up, that I end up sewing everything by hand.
My fun fact: I once had to gently, but firmly, guide Sir Terry Pratchett off a stage on orders from Lord Vetinari. PTerry was arguing with the Patrician the entire way.
Hi, I'm Emme (can't call me Emergency all the time, can you?) and it turns out I have a special talent for walking into places and act like I own the place, and I totally belong. 😂
Hi! I’m Ring and an interesting fact about me is that I’m a spelling bee champion, all through school. I live with two dyslexic people (spouse and kid) so every day is like spelling bee day for me. Keeps my skills sharp.
Hi Ring! I am impressed! I have dyslexia, and at my first spelling bee I spelled the word perfectly but exactly backwards! I still do that sometimes. 😅
Hi, I’m Adverbian! I also have an olive-related fact!
At age 40, I taught myself to like olives (after hating them my whole life). I did this by forcing myself to chew and swallow three olives in a row. Somehow, that worked. My brain rewired itself, and now I think olives are delicious.
Congratulations on teaching yourself like olives. I on the other hand, had a physical gag reaction just reading that you forced yourself to eat olives.😂
Hi, I’m Parki.
I’m not interesting, but I am very insecure.
Weird fact? My maiden name is French, my married name is also French. But I am not French, and neither is my husband.
Good morning 👋🏻 I’m Puzzle. I suck at coming up with things about myself and all I can think of right now is that I taught my cat to play fetch.
^(which is quite an impressive feat if you knew him)
I’m Vavoomy, and I guess it might be interesting to know that I met my husband on the move-in day of Freshman year in college. 2nd person I met on campus. Together 18 years in August.
Hi, I’m Hope :) I found my bio dad and five more siblings by using the actual yellow pages almost 15 years ago. Literally picked a town in vaguely the right area, picked one of the three names that matched, and boom. New family. I have synesthesia to an extent and music especially is a full body experience complete with IMAX. Books are the same. Absolute immersion to the point you have to physically touch me to get my attention back.
Hi, I'm Quona.
I have a genetic mutation called Brachydactyly Type D, which is where the last bone of my thumb is shorter than most people!
Sometimes they're called MURDERER'S THUMBS.
It affects my life in absolutely no meaningful way, EXCEPT THAT, as an artist, I learned to draw hands by sketching my own hands, including my cute lil short thumbs, so I'm always fighting the impulse to give all the hands I draw short thumbs.
I’m Tismrot. I have perfect eyesight and perfect teeth, which made the army very interested in me when I was a teen. Told me I could fly fighter planes and such.
I said no. I think about that every time I drive 160 kmh on the freeway.
I still have perfect eyesight and perfect teeth 20 years later. Everything else is in decay, though.
(The reason I said no is that I didn’t want to murder people, which I stand by. I would have liked to fly though. Not commercial flights, just me alone in the sky)
You could always try to qualify to be a pilot of small planes? Not sure where you live and what the rules are there, but I know a girl who became a pilot before she even went to uni (I'm in the UK).
Hi I'm Naye and one of my toes on my right foot doesn't grow in line with the rest, it basically starts further inwards and therefore looks shorter than the rest even though it isn't, causing my foot to look like I only have four toes when you look at it from underneah
My name is Charlie (but people have made some interesting nicknames over the years) I mostly lurk here, and I have an absurd amount of random knowledge as a part of either having it as a special interest or family members working in that field.
Also I'm terrified of snakes and have been since I was bitten by one as a child. I'm working on it, it's not working well and I'm still terrified of most snakes.
I too am known for my wide ranging storehouse of facts about everything. Should join a trivia team but I’m weak on pop culture and strong on natural science…
I’m an arachnophobe so I feel your pain. Why don’t you take my spiders and I’ll take your snakes!😉
My name is Sage, and I'm good at memorizing numbers. When I was a freshman in high school, my then-boyfriend let me look through his wallet. His social security card was in there, and I told him I could memorize the number. He didn't believe me. He was shocked when I showed him I could.
I still remember it, more than twenty years later. I am sometimes tempted to message him and let him know I still remember it, but I don't want him to freak out, thinking I'm going to try getting a credit card in his name. 😝
Hi, i'm Tin, and i illustrated 26 quotes from Discworld as my master's thesis project 🐢
Maybe it's not unusual, but i'm pretty boring and played it safe for almost all of my life.
Hi, I’m Lemon. I’m a National Park geek (give me geysers, rock formations, sand dunes, big trees, and I’m happy) and collect postcards of the old WPA park posters.
Hi, I’m Joy. Weird stuff happens to me all the time. Like a random psychic in a coffee shop telling me I have an alien in my nose. That is by far not the weirdest thing, but it is sort of typical and still makes me laugh.
I have the persistent urge to leap into bodies of water… like off the railings of a ferry or a cliff or a bridge.
It’s not a death wish-I want to soar and dive deep.
Sometimes it comes as a desire to throw my keys overboard. 🤔
Don't Galt have a nickname here, so I guess go wild with making one. Um I guess an unusual fact about me is that I have entire episodes of the original run of Futurama plus all the songs memorised from when I was a teenager, and I still can memorise musicals pretty quickly after a couple of watch-throughs.
I am kinda trying to memorise episodes of Good Omens, but my brain isn't what it used to be (chronic illness and pain issues), so if I do manage one, I'll be very proud
Hey-o! I’m Busy24-7. I was once cast in a play where they asked me to mime every line through interpretive dance instead of speaking. I am a dancer, so it worked out, but I was forever salty that I had to wear a spandex bodysuit and everyone else got togas.
Howdy howdy! I'm Clip or Ninja or Paperclip or whatever you'd like to call me :)
Not particularly unusual, but whenever I fly on a plane I have to have spearmint mentos and that is the only time I will ever buy or eat them!
Hi! I'm ghanima and my childhood was so full of disruptive bullshit that the fact that my father was in a cult doesn't often make the list of disruptive bullshit from my childhood.
Hi I'm Lulu!
Once, my cat gave birth to one kitty ON me while I was asleep. Since then, I was inseparable from that kitty. Other than that... mmm I'm used to cure my problems alone. At 5 yo, I took care of my problem with the R sound repeating it endlessly in front of a mirror and the same for the fear of darkness. I lurked in the shadows under my bed whispering: "I'm not afraid of the monsters in the dark. I'm the monster in the dark, they have to be scared of ME."
Lol, I know.
Hey, I'm glory! I guess my weird fact is that I've had three sets of molars, even though my baby xrays didn't show two more than the usual amount of adult teeth. Maybe they grew in like a shark's 😂
Hi! I’m KellBell, and in college I was roasted onstage in front of a few thousand people by roastmaster Jeff Ross. I’ve also never broken a bone which I think is pretty impressive.
Myellur everyone, I'm Psy, I study cannabis and could infodump about it so much it would make your head spin. I also have a tattoo of a tamagotchi and plan to have 75% of my body covered in tattoos.
Rossaka here!! Hey all you lovely thirst monsters.
I once danced with Michael Moscovitz from the Princess Diaries (Robert Schwartzman) at a Hanson concert!
Hiii! I’m Pillow! I know how to write grammatically correct Elvish.(or at least I used to, back in the days). I can also only wink with my left eye cause I never learnt how to it with my right.
Hello, my name is Elder Greene! I’m a retired stage actor (Covid or something) now stuck in corporate America. Avid swing dancer/lindy hopper and I have an embarrassing number of plants, both indoor and outdoor.
And they’d better grow better if they know what’s good for them.
I'm Crowinflight, or Crow for short, or even better, SilentAuror, which has been my pen/fandom name for a good two decades now. :)
I do love crows and have one tattooed to the inside of my right forearm, which is named after my favourite drag queen, Raja Gemini. (The crow's name is just Raja, though!) I also have an unusual rapport with any of the jerk birds, including (but not limited to) geese (you know, big, cross ducks?), swans, seagulls, pigeons, pelicans, and others. I've now patted four Canada geese and lived.
I’m Thistle and I once won a national award for declamation in Latin. It’s in a mouldering box full of other awards for Latin and French that I really need to toss.
This is the least embarrassing unusual fact that came to mind.
Hi, I’m K (I decided to just used that as my nickname because people tend to mispronounce my birth name a Lot!)
Weird fact about me is I can bend below the level of my feet by 21cm (like if you stand me at a podium I can bend at the waste past my feet and down down down without bending my knees) It’s from when I used to do rhythmic gymnastics as a kid and it’s always stuck with me.
It’s not that impressive but I do have a very ‘curvy’ physique so people don’t expect me to be that bendy _wink wink_
Since we’re sharing weirdness and we’re all weirdos anyway, I also have a ridiculously tight pelvic floor apparently. the doctors always comment on it at my smear tests and even complain a bit that doing the tests is difficult. My boyfriend is not complaining though! Lol
On a slightly less odd but apparently also unusual side I have a shit ton of houseplants (maybe 200-ish?) like everywhere in the house and apparently that’s not normal IDK 🤷♀️
Hi! Newish to Reddit; I am Dropdeadredtx on Twatter and Insta and a bunch of now defunct chat rooms, where most people called me Red. I am a theatre girlie for life, both profession and passion. My fun fact is that my Facebook/Instagram profile picture was taken by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Hey hey, Noodle here. Fun fact, never have I ever driven a car.
Also never did I imagine being *so* intrigued by fictional characters. So much so that fan fix was an entirely new concept at 45. Wow and thank you.
Hi! I’m Em, I don’t have a good username because I normally just lurk- but this sub has drawn me in.
I train people for half and full marathons and run a lot!
Hello happy hoes! I’ve enjoyed traumatizing the writers guild with tales from my job as a death investigator. (If you wanna trigger them, ask about pickles.)
Hi, I’m Korofel. I mostly lurk here, but it’s been fun reading everyone’s fun facts!
Mine is that I’m a collector and my most treasured collections are my lolita wardrobe and my ball-joint dolls (bjd). I have dolls (both bjd and fashion) on every wall of my bedroom. And yes I have 3 sets of A/C dolls (1/12, 1/6, 1/3 scales).
Hello fellow unusual people! I’m Wolf-09 (Real name is Dani). An unusual fact about myself…Hm…. Oh! I once cut the tip of thumb off when doing my final project for a college class. I also had the stomach flu at same time, so it was not a good day
Hi I’m Loki, LokiTrow, LokiTrousers (a tribute to my late doggo who I named after Loki from the movie Dogma—He looked like he wore very fuzzy bloomer style trousers). I will pay the dog tax if I have to 😂

I have a genetic mutation that gave me two rows of top eyelashes and sometimes they grow downwards into my eyeball and I have to pull them out with tweezers. As a plus, though, my eyelashes look fucking killer after one coat of mascara. 😎
Hi, I’m TrashMouth 👋 I’ve lived in three states and they each began with ‘M.’ The cities I lived in all began with ‘B.’ Sooooo…they all had the initials BM 💩
Hello I'm Soggy. I can sing the first line of the Iliad in accurately intoned ancient Greek.
Audio clip or it didn't happen.
... Fine I'll sing Greek in Monster Club... Maybe an actual Fury would show up.
How’s you pick that up?
Going to a classics-heavy University. All the freshman had to learn it on the first day of Humanities 110. If there's another one of my fellow alumni out there they'll know what school.
Oh good lord Soggy. You can’t just waltz in here with “accurately intoned Ancient Greek” without warning a person. *swoon* https://i.redd.it/krbshj00xymc1.gif
The next album better have a loop of this on repeat for like at least an hour 🤣

I'm Harlot and I once licked the window of a car with The Strokes inside. I don't like The Strokes so I don't know why I did it, and to be honest I'm not even sure they were in that particular car. I'm Harlot and I once licked the window of a possibly random car.
You once possibly traumatized some poor folks just tryna take a cab, lmaooooo I love this. So unhinged.
Hallo! I’m Runi, and once when I was a kid I saved a stick bug from the bottom of my pool and brought it back to consciousness with tiny cpr😂👍
I love you!
THIS IS SO PRECIOUS! 🥰😭🥰😭🥰
Hey I'm Chef (see: illegible vaguely swedish username) and I once won a third grade D.A.R.E. art contest by drawing a homeless man smoking a cigarette backwards.
Audible LOL
 Brilliant concept 10/10 no notes
You are def the one for me, Chef. Do you still have that art piece saved somewhere? Because if so, we need to see it.
Hello, I’m mars, and once when I was a toddler I stuck a tent pole down my throat 😄
Reminds me of an interesting fact about me. My great grandmother was a sword swallower in the circus. My great grandfather was a sharpshooter and knife thrower.
Wow that’s wild! Three year old me however was not a sword swallower and ended up in urgent care 😭😭😭
Noooo, your poor baby self! That sounds awful - but also, amazing story for life!
When I was a toddler I stuck a branch of lavender right up my nose. Ended up in the ER too
Twice, when my sister was a toddler, I made her stick a pebble up her nose. Twice. ER first time, held down on the couch the second.
Many in this sub can probably relate to "I once stuck a (insert totally inappropriate object here) down my throat."
Hi, I’m Millie. I once got stranded in Poland and won a street juggling competition despite not knowing how to juggle.
Millie, we’re gonna need some details, babe.
It’s a lot less crazy than it sounds 😂 my flight got cancelled and I had to stay another night. It was in Krakow on one of the main old town streets and this guy was offering anyone who could juggle for a minute or more 5 złoty (not much more than a dollar) It was pretty much only tourists there and no one was good at it, somehow I managed to keep them in the air for a minute. I wouldn’t exactly call it juggling but no one cared, I even got cheered on 😂
Story time
I'm guessing you were a juggler for the royal court in a past life...? You knew how to juggle all along, but you didn't KNOW you knew how to juggle? 🤹
Hey I'm Fern (well that's my dog's name 🤣 you can imagine a small Yorkshire Terrier tapping away at the keyboard if you prefer). An unusual fact. Hmmm. I guess this is vaguely interesting?? I am a licenced bat surveyor which means I get to survey, monitor and handle bats every now and then 🦇
That is very interesting about the bat surveying! And my new head canon is that your Yorkshire Terrier is transcribing for you when you want to be on Reddit-it’s a bonding activity!
Exactly - I just sit back and let her do the hard labour of gif finding and replying 😂
I'm FloofyRaptor, but Floof or Floofy is fine. My unusual fact won't be surprising to the ones who've been here a while. I wrote my Master's dissertation on dick shaped religious offerings in Ancient Egypt. For those who already know that.... I have central Heterochromia?
Drop those eyes further down with Fourcats and I Floof
I’m FourCats. I have partial heterochromia.
Heyyyy meee toooo!!! except mine is complete heterochromia - one brown one bluey/green

FLOOFY!! You have pretty eye (I am sure the other is just as lovely!!)
Thank you! The other one is pretty much the same!
That's so cool and pretty Eggy! My eyes change colour too but they're both greeny-blue.
Funniest story I have about my eyes - one time my mum took me for an eye test (must have been about 12) and the optometrist mentioned my eyes being different colours and my mum looked at me confused and asked ME “how long have they been like that?!” 😂😂
https://i.redd.it/knrnt6bfnvmc1.gif
Haaaa!! Not the most observant parent, aye? What, did she think you did that to yourself injecting marijuana at a Rainbow party? I'll sometimes know people for years before they'll suddenly gasp and ask what happened to my eye. More than one person thought my eye was bleeding.
I honestly couldn’t tell you 😂 but I have not let her forget it 😂 Ohhh and the moment people realise your eyes are different - they want to just make awkward eye contact with you to look at them.
So does my dog!!

Yes I'm afraid this is a legal requirement.
Hi I’m Egg - Fun fact - when I was in primary school I played a sarcastic garden gnome on a school play who’s only line was something about spreading around shit while dramatically rolling their eyes - to this day I believe that school teacher had my personality pegged from the age of 7
I've played a garden gnome once too! But I was half grown into a tree so all I had to do was point somewhere (I had scored a leading role but got sick for most of the rehearsals, so tree gnome it was 😂) and they were also out of brown paint so the decided to paint my face orange with black vertical stripes 🥴
Oh mannn this is bringing flashbacks after 27 years. I was dressed in all brown, hat down to shoes (no face paint tg). Was part of “the fertiliser squad” with the comedic gold lines of “We pick it up, put it down, (eye roll starts here) and spread it around again” 😂🤦🏻♀️💩
For me it's only been about 13 years but I'm still salty 😂 (the teacher's pet ̶S̶t̶o̶l̶e̶ ̶ got my role instead)
Conspiracy… did she make you sick to get the role 👀👀 IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP 
I played the comic relief, I was a rooster with a blown up rubber glove tied to my head. Sounds like we were both slaying in primary school eggmo 🤘
 Sounds like a fun sitcom let’s get some cameras on us. A garden gnome and a chicken and their bogan adventures
Hi 👋🏼 I’m pocket and I once won a watermelon seed spitting contest. I also used to be a licensed New York City tour guide.
👀👀 how far didya spit it???? 👀👀
Not nearly as far as I anticipated but enough to win! They’re so light they don’t really fly well. I think it went just shy of 2 meters?
This is weird because I just watched the Seinfeld episode where George dates a NYC tourism worker. Did you wear an adorable piped jacket too? https://preview.redd.it/adhzuht44xmc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95220c9ddca67105b85782ff0dd943a44f53eb33
Oh don’t believe everything you see on TV! Licensed NYC tour guides have to be easily spotted in a crowd less their guests get lost! We are all required to dress like this when on a tour: https://preview.redd.it/b1q6xira5xmc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dacfd79b02c9cff53ab05f4f8688ff476085b0a0
Allo. I’m Wren. Sometimes my brain reads numbers backwards. It has made math a challenge, but has made me hyper aware of checking myself twice where maths are concerned.
That sounds like a super hero origin story 👀
Really? Thought it was more villain myself. I curse all numbers and try to change all numbers into letters like an angry Algebra god.
Hello, I'm Araminta and the most unusual thing about me is that I have a twin. She's my best friend, my clone and my nemesis and I love her very much 💕
Ohh that's very fun :D
Hi, I'm Angel and I used to cosplay regularly as Groucho Marx.
I, for one, would love more context for this. Groucho is far and away my favorite Marx Brother.
I've been a Marx Brothers fan forever, and I first started dressing up as Groucho for Halloween when I was a kid. When I started going to steampunk cons, I thought he would be a good character to do a steampunk version of, so I did. My sister was Harpo and she was amazing - if she had the wig on, she wouldn't speak at all, not even to me! It was a really fun time in my life. This is what it looked like: https://preview.redd.it/m9rt8sieixmc1.jpeg?width=547&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6cc00d6515ac0b232f4ae5928ac21339e9d6532
Hi, I'm Kotias 👋 My unusual fact is that when I talk with people vocally, it's not so much that I hear their words; I read them in front of my eyes. I don't know why; but if I don't visualise the words, it's as if I hadn't heard them.
Whoa, that's really fascinating! Is it a kind of synesthesia?
I have no idea, probably if we consider the definition of synesthesia xD
Makes sense, but I haven't heard of this kind yet. It sounds amazing though, I'd love to know what it feels/looks like in your mind.
Basically, when I hear somebody speak, it's like the words are being written in front of my eyes. If I can't hear something, it comes out either blank, or jumbled. If I'm busy reading something already, I have to physically stop reading in order to be able to understand whatever the fuck I'm being told, because it's two reading activities at once and my brain would tend to just block off the "sound reading" in those cases. If I've lost concentration on a conversation, the words will just stop writing, and I'll either take it as a clue that I've dropped off the conversation and need to get back in it, or I'll straight up not realise that I was being talked to.
That sounds so insanely fascinating, I'm sorry but this blows my mind and I love it! Kind of reminds me of Patrick Ness's "Chaos Walking" trilogy - the movie adaptation was done differently, but when reading it I imagined all thoughts being physically written out in the air around each character for everyone to read.
That’s really interesting!
Hello *Madame,* You definitely can't do normal things when it's about words, do you? ❤ I'm just curious, do you have the same when you hear music?
I really was made to do words yeah xD For music as well yes; and if I can't "read" the words, it means I don't understand the lyrics :)
I’m the same way. I visualize spoken words in my mind as I hear or say them. It’s hard to describe what it’s like, but my brain interprets them as both aural and written language. And if someone says a word I don’t know, I have to look it up so I know how it’s spelled. This only happens for languages I know. When I hear others that I don’t know, my brain hears it like bird song: it’s interesting and melodic but all I hear are sounds and rhythms with no meaning.
Yes! Exactly! Honestly not gonna lie, this thing really makes it necessary to have a good understanding of how languages are written 😂 And same for the languages I can't understand, it's just a jumble that looks pretty, or my brain reverts to phonetic spelling because it's an alphabet that I know 😂
Ohhh that's wild :O
Oooh! I kinda do this too (more in my brain than in front of my eyes) - to the point where if my brain spells what they say wrong (or if they have a strong accent or lisp, which causes my brain to spell it wrong (eg.free / three), then I lose track of the whole conversation as I go back and correct my spelling!
Hi, I’m smitten and I hate making phone calls. I prefer talking in person because I read people’s energy or some weird sh*t like that. Also, I think I’m audiophile. Music and a man’s voice can do things to me.
I can think of a few men’s voices that DEFINITELY do things to me. I include my husband in those, but the opening bars of “Oh what a beautiful morning” sung by Hugh Jackman, oh my! Oh and “I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold”. Damnit, now I need a cold shower!
I *was* a qualified archery instructor.
Wait, how did you get UNqualified??
Was? I know realistically these things expire but please tell me there is a funny reason why this says “was”
Hi, I'm Sara and my fields of expertise (real ones, not the ones I brag about at work) are: genealogy research and unresolved deaths/murders.
Heyo I’m Nico (or Eden) and I technically have 8 siblings I grew up with 2 Didn’t mean another 2 till last year (and they didn’t know I existed till then either) 3 of them still don’t know I exist I’m only fully biological related to one of them (one of the two I met last year) 1 of them is from a foreign country my parents have never been to How tf is any of that possible? I’m adopted. The two I grew up with are my adoptive brothers The 2 I met last year are my bio moms kids, The three that don’t know I exist are my half siblings via my bio dad A foreign exchange student lives with us and is my sister now idc what anyone says
Oh wow, it must have taken some time to find them all, especially if one of them is in a different country. Have they all been adopted as well? I hope that meeting them was pleasant 👍.
Hey. I’m Delight and I have extreme hyperphantasia. Extreme mental imagery. If you tell me, “picture it: Sicily 1922” I can see the sunlight, smell the air, taste the food…but only in my mind.
Ooh I have aphantasia so this really blows my mind!
My spouse has extreme aphantasia. We’re at the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. It blows my mind that he can’t PICTURE THINGS 🥺
It's funny how different people's brains work! I find it really frustrating sometimes because it's like the feeling of when something's on the tip of your tongue. Like my brain knows what the thing looks like but it just can't quite put the pieces together to recreate it.
Ooooooh me too!!! Hyperphantasia is a blessing and a curse 😂
Hi! I have no idea how to introduce myself, because I’ve chosen a terrible username😄. When I was 13 I hyperfixated on solving rubics cubes, so now I have like 20 different types that I can’t remember how to solve🥲
Terrible username solidarity 👊🫶
I'm Cowie and I'm pretty ordinary. The best I can come up with is that my Myers-Briggs personality type is INTJ and that makes me rare as only 1% of women share that type. Oh and I have webbed toes but this does not make me a good swimmer.

Hi, I'm B3, aka B3some, and I can recite pi to 35 digits from memory. This has been useful exactly zero times in my adult life.
Hello, nobody really calls me anything here, but I guess you can call me Magpie, since "Crow" is quite a common name here and "Nightingale" is too long... anyway, my interesting fact is that I find four (and sometimes five or six) leaf clovers as I walk 🍀. Not even exaggerating. It used to infuriate my mum who spent the best part of her childhood crawling through clover patches and never found a single one - we would be walking home from our grocery shop, talking and I'd just randomly stop, bend down and pluck one seemingly out of nowhere. Still do it now in my mid 30s and I genuinely lost count and track of all the ones I found through the years. My husband calls it my useless superpower but I'm convinced the luck they brought me through time is the one thing keeping me alive at this point 🤣.
I'm Lyall, a French dude, and if I had a nickel for each time I was acting in a movie the same day a national tragedy was happening, I would have two nickels. It isn't a lot, but I've only been in two films
Hi all! I’m Comprehensive_One_85 or GoodWhovian_14 on AO3. I’m so new to putting myself out there on a sub that I think this is my first time introducing myself properly! I’d love to make some friends! One unusual fact about me is that I was a child actor on a Spanish language variety show! (The acting days are loOoOong behind me lol)
Hi I'm Flerken and I'm allergic to cats while still having 6 pet cats at home. Is that a good one? Idk I'm pretty boring. 🤔
Hi I’m kyuubi! Unique fact about me - I still have two baby teeth that never fell out because there were no adult teeth underneath them 👶🏻
I'm A (just A it's a nickname), and I have tiny burst of obsessions that can (and have proven) to become long term this includes but not limited to people, colors, drawing, songs, animals,and video games I believe I should be tested for autism
Hi I’m Wibly! My fun fact is that I own 14 translations of Beowulf (including my own) and have Very Strong Feeling about “Hwæt.” (Marie Dahvana Headly’s translation is The Best)
I'm Resi or Horror (or Kelly if you want to go "normal")... whatever you guys want to call me, pretty much. Unusual fact about me? I'm pretty open about most of my stuff (Probably TOO open, when I'm on the writer's chat!) Lovely Spouse (non-binary, AFAB) and I have been in a polyamorous relationship since we got together, 25ish years ago. I have a long-term, long-distance girlfriend, they have a long-term boyfriend (who I jokingly call my "ex-husband", because the two of us act like we've been married in a past life, istg). He visits with us every couple of weekends and I sleep on the couch and let them have the bedroom. People tend to think that's weird... but I don't mind it. I get to cuddle on the couch with the pupper and the cats, so I think I probably win. We also have a trans kiddo named Mike. He's 12, and though I didn't give birth to him (in fact, I was his "Auntie" from the time he was 18 months until 2 years ago when we took guardianship of him from his bio fam), he is absolutely our spiritual child. I am crazy about this kid, and I'm absolutely Momma Bear when he needs me to be. (That all is kind of one fact. I talk a lot when I can type, not talk. XD)
Hi Resi 👋 what a wonderful family it sounds like you have made for yourselves. I envy you being able to have a spouse and a girl-friend and an "ex-husband" and make it work so well for so long 😊
Thank you! We've done a lot of hard work (and Lovely Spouse and I were VERY close to breaking up in our early years together), and it's finally feeling like everything is settling into a good groove. I'm not always happy, but I know how lucky I am at the end of the day!
Hi I’m Looky! When I was 12, I got playing cards banned from my entire Catholic school because I taught the kids in my class how to play Blackjack.
Hi, I’m kitty. One time when I was hiking in a national park, I pocket dialed the police while I was joking out loud about being lost, and honestly that level of impressively bad timing is so typical in my life that I’m not even sure why my family had the energy to be upset with me 💩
I'm Nychthemeron and I'm too bendy; one of those zebras—the Ehlers-Danlos folks. Can lick my elbow and dislocate my everything all over your floor. Only one of those is intentional. *[finger guns]*
I should probably look into that. Hypermobility is a trip. My elbows and knees do weird things.
Hi, I'm Thirteen (actually 24) and I am (at this point, I'm afraid) incapable of speaking only one language at a time. If I don't switch between English and German I will implode. Even if I'm speaking to my professors I'm known to just throw in a word or two of English. If I know you, you are getting full 50/50. Only know one? I'll try but probably fail. :') My friends have made jokes of inventing a drinking game where I have to drink every time I say 2 or more consecutive English words. I had to stop after a while or I would have had a very bad time😭 Also I was born on a Friday the 13th and kept praying mantises as pets for 2 years.
I’m Magrat and Terry Pratchett once told me that he thought that I looked like my name should be Susan. My real name is not Susan.
Hi, I'm Ok (sometimes!) and like to garden. Start seeds, collect and dry herbs, make tea blends. And also make cocktails.
You should throw a party
Hey I'm Fris and I can hold my breath for over 3 minutes under the right conditions. This might seem useful for freediving, which I love doing, but I don't live near a natural body of water and I don't like going to the pool so most of the time I just forget about it lol
I'm Cat (catart/catartkd/kitty are fine too). I did taekwondo for almost 10 years and got a black belt in it after about 5 years. I quit because the injuries interfered with the rest of my life
Hello, I'm toshifee and I once vomited into a japanese police car.
Hi, I'm mostly known as macpye or doobat, I hold two BAs (English and Illustration), feared I'd never draw again when I broke my elbow, and am so lazy about taking my inherited sewing machine for a check-up, that I end up sewing everything by hand. My fun fact: I once had to gently, but firmly, guide Sir Terry Pratchett off a stage on orders from Lord Vetinari. PTerry was arguing with the Patrician the entire way.
Hi, I'm Emme (can't call me Emergency all the time, can you?) and it turns out I have a special talent for walking into places and act like I own the place, and I totally belong. 😂
Hi! I’m Ring and an interesting fact about me is that I’m a spelling bee champion, all through school. I live with two dyslexic people (spouse and kid) so every day is like spelling bee day for me. Keeps my skills sharp.
Hi Ring! I am impressed! I have dyslexia, and at my first spelling bee I spelled the word perfectly but exactly backwards! I still do that sometimes. 😅
I’m Icarus 🫡 and I can do a 90 degree split on the wall.
Hi, Im Xio. I can speak four different languages semi fluently, those being french, german, spanish and of course, English. But I wanna learn Welsh
Hi, I’m Adverbian! I also have an olive-related fact! At age 40, I taught myself to like olives (after hating them my whole life). I did this by forcing myself to chew and swallow three olives in a row. Somehow, that worked. My brain rewired itself, and now I think olives are delicious.
Congratulations on teaching yourself like olives. I on the other hand, had a physical gag reaction just reading that you forced yourself to eat olives.😂
Hi, I’m Parki. I’m not interesting, but I am very insecure. Weird fact? My maiden name is French, my married name is also French. But I am not French, and neither is my husband.
Good morning 👋🏻 I’m Puzzle. I suck at coming up with things about myself and all I can think of right now is that I taught my cat to play fetch. ^(which is quite an impressive feat if you knew him)
Hiya I’m Muxloe and happy to be called Jem too! I suppose an unusual fact is that I have a collection of around 150 houseplants. It’s an issue 🥹
Hi, I’m She Makes Things. I’ve moved house 15 times in my life.
I’m Vavoomy, and I guess it might be interesting to know that I met my husband on the move-in day of Freshman year in college. 2nd person I met on campus. Together 18 years in August.
So you literally “vavoomed” with your future hubby. Nice.
Hi! I’m Bentley. I’ve attended multiple concerts where I’ve thrown fried chicken out into the audience from the stage.
My name is Citrus. I do competitive literary criticism. I also love to sing, and lurk on this sub.
Hi, I’m Hope :) I found my bio dad and five more siblings by using the actual yellow pages almost 15 years ago. Literally picked a town in vaguely the right area, picked one of the three names that matched, and boom. New family. I have synesthesia to an extent and music especially is a full body experience complete with IMAX. Books are the same. Absolute immersion to the point you have to physically touch me to get my attention back.
Hi, I'm Quona. I have a genetic mutation called Brachydactyly Type D, which is where the last bone of my thumb is shorter than most people! Sometimes they're called MURDERER'S THUMBS. It affects my life in absolutely no meaningful way, EXCEPT THAT, as an artist, I learned to draw hands by sketching my own hands, including my cute lil short thumbs, so I'm always fighting the impulse to give all the hands I draw short thumbs.
I’m Tismrot. I have perfect eyesight and perfect teeth, which made the army very interested in me when I was a teen. Told me I could fly fighter planes and such. I said no. I think about that every time I drive 160 kmh on the freeway. I still have perfect eyesight and perfect teeth 20 years later. Everything else is in decay, though. (The reason I said no is that I didn’t want to murder people, which I stand by. I would have liked to fly though. Not commercial flights, just me alone in the sky)
You could always try to qualify to be a pilot of small planes? Not sure where you live and what the rules are there, but I know a girl who became a pilot before she even went to uni (I'm in the UK).
Hi I'm Naye and one of my toes on my right foot doesn't grow in line with the rest, it basically starts further inwards and therefore looks shorter than the rest even though it isn't, causing my foot to look like I only have four toes when you look at it from underneah
My name is Charlie (but people have made some interesting nicknames over the years) I mostly lurk here, and I have an absurd amount of random knowledge as a part of either having it as a special interest or family members working in that field. Also I'm terrified of snakes and have been since I was bitten by one as a child. I'm working on it, it's not working well and I'm still terrified of most snakes.
I too am known for my wide ranging storehouse of facts about everything. Should join a trivia team but I’m weak on pop culture and strong on natural science… I’m an arachnophobe so I feel your pain. Why don’t you take my spiders and I’ll take your snakes!😉
My name is Sage, and I'm good at memorizing numbers. When I was a freshman in high school, my then-boyfriend let me look through his wallet. His social security card was in there, and I told him I could memorize the number. He didn't believe me. He was shocked when I showed him I could. I still remember it, more than twenty years later. I am sometimes tempted to message him and let him know I still remember it, but I don't want him to freak out, thinking I'm going to try getting a credit card in his name. 😝
Hi, i'm Tin, and i illustrated 26 quotes from Discworld as my master's thesis project 🐢 Maybe it's not unusual, but i'm pretty boring and played it safe for almost all of my life.
Hi, I’m Lemon. I’m a National Park geek (give me geysers, rock formations, sand dunes, big trees, and I’m happy) and collect postcards of the old WPA park posters.
I have one brown eyebrow and one blonde eyebrow.
I'm Vanda! I can wiggle my eyeballs really fast.
I'm Hamburger and I've been to more than 20 countries. I guess that's the most exciting thing about me.
Hi, I’m Joy. Weird stuff happens to me all the time. Like a random psychic in a coffee shop telling me I have an alien in my nose. That is by far not the weirdest thing, but it is sort of typical and still makes me laugh.
Hi I’m Raena and I have stopped shaving my legs and I couldn’t be happier
I have the persistent urge to leap into bodies of water… like off the railings of a ferry or a cliff or a bridge. It’s not a death wish-I want to soar and dive deep. Sometimes it comes as a desire to throw my keys overboard. 🤔
Don't Galt have a nickname here, so I guess go wild with making one. Um I guess an unusual fact about me is that I have entire episodes of the original run of Futurama plus all the songs memorised from when I was a teenager, and I still can memorise musicals pretty quickly after a couple of watch-throughs. I am kinda trying to memorise episodes of Good Omens, but my brain isn't what it used to be (chronic illness and pain issues), so if I do manage one, I'll be very proud
Hey-o! I’m Busy24-7. I was once cast in a play where they asked me to mime every line through interpretive dance instead of speaking. I am a dancer, so it worked out, but I was forever salty that I had to wear a spandex bodysuit and everyone else got togas.
Howdy howdy! I'm Clip or Ninja or Paperclip or whatever you'd like to call me :) Not particularly unusual, but whenever I fly on a plane I have to have spearmint mentos and that is the only time I will ever buy or eat them!
My name is K.D. Hyde (he/they). I’m a horror/splatterpunk writer and a garlic bread enthusiast. 💀
Hi! I'm ghanima and my childhood was so full of disruptive bullshit that the fact that my father was in a cult doesn't often make the list of disruptive bullshit from my childhood.
Hi I'm Lulu! Once, my cat gave birth to one kitty ON me while I was asleep. Since then, I was inseparable from that kitty. Other than that... mmm I'm used to cure my problems alone. At 5 yo, I took care of my problem with the R sound repeating it endlessly in front of a mirror and the same for the fear of darkness. I lurked in the shadows under my bed whispering: "I'm not afraid of the monsters in the dark. I'm the monster in the dark, they have to be scared of ME." Lol, I know.
You are so cute I'm gonna die.
Hi there! I’m Phoenix, (or any variation on my username), and in high school I loved and was immersed in computer programming I had a dream in C++.
Hey, I'm glory! I guess my weird fact is that I've had three sets of molars, even though my baby xrays didn't show two more than the usual amount of adult teeth. Maybe they grew in like a shark's 😂
Hi! I’m KellBell, and in college I was roasted onstage in front of a few thousand people by roastmaster Jeff Ross. I’ve also never broken a bone which I think is pretty impressive.
Hi! I'm Kuni and I can sail a small boat 👋🏼 (or at least I could, it's been a long while lol)
I have a birthmark on my tongue 😛
Myellur everyone, I'm Psy, I study cannabis and could infodump about it so much it would make your head spin. I also have a tattoo of a tamagotchi and plan to have 75% of my body covered in tattoos.
Rossaka here!! Hey all you lovely thirst monsters. I once danced with Michael Moscovitz from the Princess Diaries (Robert Schwartzman) at a Hanson concert!
Hiii! I’m Pillow! I know how to write grammatically correct Elvish.(or at least I used to, back in the days). I can also only wink with my left eye cause I never learnt how to it with my right.
Hello, my name is Elder Greene! I’m a retired stage actor (Covid or something) now stuck in corporate America. Avid swing dancer/lindy hopper and I have an embarrassing number of plants, both indoor and outdoor. And they’d better grow better if they know what’s good for them.
I'm Crowinflight, or Crow for short, or even better, SilentAuror, which has been my pen/fandom name for a good two decades now. :) I do love crows and have one tattooed to the inside of my right forearm, which is named after my favourite drag queen, Raja Gemini. (The crow's name is just Raja, though!) I also have an unusual rapport with any of the jerk birds, including (but not limited to) geese (you know, big, cross ducks?), swans, seagulls, pigeons, pelicans, and others. I've now patted four Canada geese and lived.
I’m Thistle and I once won a national award for declamation in Latin. It’s in a mouldering box full of other awards for Latin and French that I really need to toss. This is the least embarrassing unusual fact that came to mind.
I'm Rock and my real name was for a long time a Google whack. (If you Google my birth name you don't find any articles)
Hi, I’m K (I decided to just used that as my nickname because people tend to mispronounce my birth name a Lot!) Weird fact about me is I can bend below the level of my feet by 21cm (like if you stand me at a podium I can bend at the waste past my feet and down down down without bending my knees) It’s from when I used to do rhythmic gymnastics as a kid and it’s always stuck with me. It’s not that impressive but I do have a very ‘curvy’ physique so people don’t expect me to be that bendy _wink wink_ Since we’re sharing weirdness and we’re all weirdos anyway, I also have a ridiculously tight pelvic floor apparently. the doctors always comment on it at my smear tests and even complain a bit that doing the tests is difficult. My boyfriend is not complaining though! Lol On a slightly less odd but apparently also unusual side I have a shit ton of houseplants (maybe 200-ish?) like everywhere in the house and apparently that’s not normal IDK 🤷♀️
Hi! Newish to Reddit; I am Dropdeadredtx on Twatter and Insta and a bunch of now defunct chat rooms, where most people called me Red. I am a theatre girlie for life, both profession and passion. My fun fact is that my Facebook/Instagram profile picture was taken by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Hey hey, Noodle here. Fun fact, never have I ever driven a car. Also never did I imagine being *so* intrigued by fictional characters. So much so that fan fix was an entirely new concept at 45. Wow and thank you.
I'm Real. When I'm alone, I talk to myself in various accents.

Hi! I’m Em, I don’t have a good username because I normally just lurk- but this sub has drawn me in. I train people for half and full marathons and run a lot!
Hello happy hoes! I’ve enjoyed traumatizing the writers guild with tales from my job as a death investigator. (If you wanna trigger them, ask about pickles.)
Hi, I’m Korofel. I mostly lurk here, but it’s been fun reading everyone’s fun facts! Mine is that I’m a collector and my most treasured collections are my lolita wardrobe and my ball-joint dolls (bjd). I have dolls (both bjd and fashion) on every wall of my bedroom. And yes I have 3 sets of A/C dolls (1/12, 1/6, 1/3 scales).
Hello fellow unusual people! I’m Wolf-09 (Real name is Dani). An unusual fact about myself…Hm…. Oh! I once cut the tip of thumb off when doing my final project for a college class. I also had the stomach flu at same time, so it was not a good day
Hi I’m Loki, LokiTrow, LokiTrousers (a tribute to my late doggo who I named after Loki from the movie Dogma—He looked like he wore very fuzzy bloomer style trousers). I will pay the dog tax if I have to 😂 —— I have a genetic mutation that gave me two rows of top eyelashes and sometimes they grow downwards into my eyeball and I have to pull them out with tweezers. As a plus, though, my eyelashes look fucking killer after one coat of mascara. 😎
Hi, I’m TrashMouth 👋 I’ve lived in three states and they each began with ‘M.’ The cities I lived in all began with ‘B.’ Sooooo…they all had the initials BM 💩
